Semantic-Guided Multimodal Preprocessing for Vision Transformer-Based Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Grading

The paper introduces a semantic‑guided multimodal preprocessing technique that fuses nuclei classification maps with RGB histopathology images for Vision Transformer‑based grading of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. By concatenating classification map channels and applying multiplicative modulation, the method achieves a balanced accuracy of 0.916, markedly surpassing an RGB‑only baseline (0.707) and prior max‑voting approaches (0.427). Sensitivity analysis shows the 21‑percentage‑point improvement remains robust under simulated perturbations matching current nuclei classifier error rates, indicating effective use of imperfect nuclear‑level information.
